- Imperial Cities Express Tour
With the tour we had a fantastic week around the imperial cities of Marocco. We are very happy about that. Our driver Samir was amazing: very nice and kind, always on time, smiling. The agency gave us an excellent service and in every city we had a local guide that explained us the history and the culture. I do highly recommend the tour
- Morocco Desert Explorer 7D/6N
My friend and I had a great time on our trip and appreciated the combination of planned and personalized events. Our primary complaint is that there were a few things that were not quite as described in our pre-travel paperwork or were not explained well enough. Overall, the things I liked: great variety and selection of events. Marrakech had lots of flight options so a good place to start, Fes is an interesting and fun city, the desert stops were fascinating and a great contrast from city life. The itinerary was packed, but this is what we expected from a trip of only 1 week. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful. The tours they arranged were very educational. The bus transport during the desert tour was comfortable. Drivers were for the most part safe and cautious. Accommodations were very nice, although they were not heated! For anyone traveling during the colder winter months, be aware that if there is no heat inside your hotel/riad it's absolutely freezing. Communication with Tourradar before the trip was easy and prompt, and having a Whatsapp contact with the local tour company made it easy to communicate about small changes along the way (delayed flight, etc.). What I didn't like: it was not entirely clear ahead of time how the individual pieces of the trip were going to connect. Everything went smoothly, but I would have liked to know ahead of time instead of just closing my eyes and trusting that we'd figure it out. We knew that we did not have a single guide and driver the whole time, but we weren't told how we were supposed to find the drivers and guides on different days (in this case, they found us, but we didn't know that ahead of time). It would have been reassuring to know this. Also, some of the things that we had scheduled on our itinerary didn't happen. There were 1 or 2 stops on our Marrakech day tour that we didn't do (Marrakech museum, university). We missed the visit to Ouarzazate entirely because the snow caused a long delay in the bus ride (not Bamba or Rouge's fault, but still was a portion of our trip that we paid for that did not end up happening). Our second day in Marrakech we were promised breakfast and did not get it. One item turned out better than promised, which was that instead of taking a local bus alone to Fes, as indicated on our itinerary, we were given a shared van with other travelers, which was much more comfortable. The indication of "lunch on your own" was a bit deceiving, since most of those days, either there was only one restaurant available where we were, or we were taken to a specific restaurant in the city instead of being able to chose. Maybe a private arrangement between the restaurant and the tour company? These restaurants were generally much more expensive than what we would have chosen on our own. In one of these instances, we were dropped off at the end of the tour at a restaurant and, when we told our guide we were going to go somewhere else (the tour had finished and we were parting ways with the guide), he was angry at us for making him take us there if we weren't going to eat there. This seemed unnecessary. Overall it was a great experience. Just a few ways expectations could have been set more clearly and better follow-through with what was on the itinerary.
